For Lauren Pragoff, being the CEO of Medicat means having autonomy but never feeling alone. “I have the independence to make decisions for our business, but I also have an operating leader as a sounding board and a network of CEOs to share ideas with.” It’s that balance between independence and support that makes accountable autonomy work in practice.

We’re honored to be on the 2025 #Inc5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies for the 5th year in a row. But this milestone isn’t really about us.

Each company that joins our community brings its own legacy, culture, and vision for the future. We're proud to support that vision, providing the stability, support, and shared values that help their businesses and people thrive long term. Congratulations team!

A week packed with insights, connection, and real-world leadership lessons. Thank you to everyone who brought the energy to this year’s CEO & HQ Summits!
That’s a wrap on our Global CEO & HQ Summits! With our team spread across the globe, these moments together are rare — and incredibly powerful. The energy in the room all week was electric. People showed up curious, open, and ready to learn. We tackled big topics like AI, building high-performing teams, and how culture drives lasting success. We heard from phenomenal guest speakers who didn’t hold back—sharing honest stories about leadership, uncertainty, and staying true to your purpose. And best of all, we got to learn from our own Banyan CEOs, who brought super practical, in-the-weeds ideas that are driving serious results in their businesses. Between the sessions, the impromptu hallway brainstorms, and the late-night laughs, you could feel the momentum and community building. A massive thanks to everyone who made it such a high-impact, high-energy week. Already counting down to the next one.

Leadership transitions can be tricky, especially after a founder steps back. But with the right approach, they don’t have to be disruptive. When Paul J. Loftus joined Loan Vision as CEO, he didn’t try to reinvent the wheel. He listened, respected the foundation already in place, and helped the team evolve without losing what made them great. "You have to listen first. Understand the culture, hear the customer, and make sure your decisions are grounded in where the business has been, not just where you want to take it." With our support behind the scenes, Paul and the team have been writing an exciting new chapter. Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/g3Tk7V8Z

Take a look! David Berkal recently published an article on regret-free exits. The article explores a topic that sits at the heart of our mission: what it truly means to support founders through a transition they can feel good about, long after the ink is dry. If you’re a founder considering an exit (or simply care about legacy, culture, and long-term value) we hope this resonates with you.
